Abstract

A plurality of nodes of split vibration of a diaphragm are driven by a plurality of voice coils to prevent split vibration of the diaphragm. The voice coils are inserted between three or more layers of magnetic poles respectively and driven by a magnetic circuit including a plurality of magnets magnetized in the same direction as the vibration of the voice coils.

Claims

1. A dynamic speaker comprising:

first, second and third magnetic poles arranged in at least three layers in spaced relation with each other;

a first magnet arranged between said first and second magnetic poles;

a second magnet arranged between said second and third magnetic poles;

a fourth magnetic pole interposed between the magnetic path of said first magnetic pole and the magnetic path of said third magnetic pole for forming first and second air gaps within said respective magnetic paths;

a first voice coil inserted into said first air gap;

a second voice coil inserted into said second air gap; and

a diaphragm coupled to said first and second voice coils and driven by said first and second voice coils.

2. A dynamic speaker according to claim 1, wherein said first and second magnets are magnetized in the same direction, said direction being the same as the direction of vibration of said first and second voice coils.

3. A dynamic speaker according to claim 1, wherein said first and second voice coils are arranged so as to drive nodes of split vibration of said diaphragm.

4. A dynamic speaker according to claim 3, wherein said diaphragm is flat and circular in shape, and said first and second voice coils drive nodal circles of split vibration of said diaphragm.
